Amazon removes former NYT reporter's book about the ineffectiveness of masks, then reverses course: Amazon temporarily removed a book about the ineffectiveness of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic written by former NYT reporter Alex Berenson. "CENSORED AGAIN," Berenson tweeted. "After being published. And I told the @amazon KDP team I was putting out another booklet so their automated review wouldn’t do this." Screenshots posted by Berenson show that according to Amazon the subject matter of the book violated the company's content guidelines. Berenson's book titled "Unreported Truths About Covid-19 and Lockdowns: Part 3: Masks" was eventually reinstated. "And @amazin backed down - the ebook is LIVE again," tweeted Berenson. "The note makes no reference to them pulling it. I assume the booklet will be up too. THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING BEAT THE CENSORSHIP. We shouldn’t have to keep doing this."
